Looks like younger folks are starting to sign up for health insurance.
Even more promising, the percentage of young adults — the coveted demographic considered key to making the insurance pools viable — rose 3 percentage points during January. People ages 18-34 now account for 27 percent of the total exchange enrollment, up from 24 percent in December.
"The 65 percent growth rate" of young adults signing up "is larger than all other age groups combined," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters in a conference call.
Good news!

Congratulations, you've got 1% of the population....
They're very coy about the numbers of people who've signed up, but haven't paid. Given the very deceptive numbers the administration has thrown around in the past, I wonder why that number is supposedly unknown because you know they would trumpeting it from the rooftops if it was good.
